Sori I meant Fesx, bund options are ok. I don't know how Interactive get around those rules, they mustn't be under the CFTC umbrella. Also IBs generous margins make it a tad difficult for the savvy hedger .
I dunno they are just banned. But the bund options ain't. Not 1 FCM can offer them (fesx). I think IB is under the SEC umbrella, which is why they lost all of their FX customers. If IB is CFTC regulated then its illegal for them to offer them. It could be a slugging match between Eurex and CFTC. If you read through the Eurex requirements to become a clearer there is a tonne of anti-american stuff in there. Infact, I dunno if Baron would even let me post some of the stuff it says. There is a lot of "you shall not offer this product to any United States of America citizen or person," I think it was only some products. I did laugh when I read it though XD. My point of using a US broker is if ur day trading you need the cheap fees of say AMP, Global and a few other brokers. You won't find that in Europe, well you might but I did a lot of searching and didn't find anything. IB is still a bit pricey, I could find brokers in Europe with the same fees as IB so.... I think odd is telling us to get back on subject.
